it needs to have motor and transmision.
I called each place in the penny saver and since it doesnt have motor/ transmission they want to charge me 50bux to take it away. I saw a thread that s13boosts made but i couldn't find it anymore. So any ideas on how i can get rid of this shell without having to pay for someone to take it. Let me know by pm of a place that you know of cause i need it gone by tomorrow or sunday:hyper:

Welcome back :rolleyes:
I don't know what's up with your pick your part, but the pick n pulls up here were going to take my shell w/o engine/tranny.
Look through the phone book or news paper classifieds for people who want them. My dad was driving around town one day and passed a truck that said on the said that they'll take cars/shells w/o paperwork. The pick n pull wouldn't take mine because I didn't have the title, but other guys did.

well did you take it with the doors and everything still complete besides engien and tranny?
Cause after i told em it was missing doors/ hatch/engine/tranny they told me right away that they couldnt take it.

you get a sawzaw and cut it up and put it in random dumpsters for a few weeks. If you can find a metal scrap yard they might take it for free if you have cut it up a bit.

These guys would have taken it even if you had pissed all over it. You're in Socal though, so even if I had their number it wouldn't do much good for you. Just try looking through classifieds of different newspapers, like the ones outside grocery stores.

LOL. For some reason that sounds too funny.

It sounds too easy but i bet it will be too much work to cut that thing into pieces. Ima try and give a couple more places a call.

Scrap metal places pay about 200$ for car shells, some even come pick them up.

Cutting it up into pieces is easy if it's a bare shell(zero interior, no motor/tranny, no suspension, no subframe...nada).
Sawzall works wonders.
About an hour and it'll be in several pieces.

I agree...
The beauty of the sawzall is that you can cut on it like a damned savage and still get the same outcome, as it will weigh no less when you're done hacking on it.
Hell, have some fun cutting it up and scrapping the metal yourself.

Johnny's right plus that allows you to save the quarter windows without pulling them out of the metal. Then if your willing to meet me somewhere in the San Garbriel valley and the rubber is as clean as you claim I would give you$30 for them. Perris is way to far from LA though for me to drive to pay a glass place to pull a set of quarter windows and pay for them as well.

I'll see if I can find the number for the place that picked up a shell from us. Had no doors, no hatch, no engine, no fenders, pretty much nothing but a shell and trash. Didn't charge us, but didn't pay us either.

Hypothetically speaking, I suppose you could always take the VINs off, and just dump it in one of the many empty dirt lots in your area.
Hypothetically speaking... I would NEVER EVER suggest doing something so illegal.

I've gotten rid of two crashed cars
one, an S13, I parted out and then had a guy
that come drag it away for the scrap metal
the second, S14, I cut up with a sawzall
and took to the recycler
got like $50 for the metal
make sure you keep the paperwork though
you'll need it to report to DMV to get
it off your name

i am lazy so i paid pick n pull $40 to come take it away.
i figure it was admission to watch the tow truck guy load up my car onto the bed without either subframe.

Works well. +1 for this idea.
When my kat popped and threw a rod I disassembled everything and salvaged what I could. Then I tossed the block and crank into the trash can. The mechanical arm on the garbage truck struggled to get that bitch up then I heard BAM!.....BAM! as both hit the bottom of the truck container. I lol'd. Did the same thing with my auto trans too.

That picture is just sad. Why do people do that? Why not sell it to someone? There is a farm I drive by in AZ and the guy has an old Studebaker sitting outside on a slab. What a waste.

Hey thanks for the options but im thinking of selling it for the first one to give me 50bucks

You don't want to pay $50 to have someone tow it away, but you want someone to pay YOU $50 for something that isn't even worth that?
We've already given you several options. Now, decide on your own.
